Confused: About children -“For the greatest part of human history it was taken for granted that one generation would embrace the challenge of creating & raising the next. That can no longer be taken for granted. Churches have almost exclusively focused on how couples can be good parents, it is important that they not forget to teach them why they should be parents at all.”

Have a great week.
